So I'm trying to decide where to Study abroad: UK or Australia (mayube South africa?). I'd liek to know the "gay scene" in these prospective countries though in terms of club admissions, how open you can be, and how many gay people there are. Any ideas/suggestions?

Most major cities in the UK are relatively gay friendly and have thriving gay scenes in central locations catering for all tastes. Smaller towns are much more problematic with hardly any significant gay life. The age of consent in the UK for men and women is 16 and gay people have almost the same rights in law as anyone else. Generally, the UK is very tolerant towards gay people and it is unlikely that if you choose to study here, you will experience any prejudice due to your sexuality.

NOT South Africa.
I am not sure about Australia, but I guess it is alright, I live in London UK and it is quite good. I see many couples holding hands and people dont really mind.....dont try small towns though...

The London Gay Scene is great, Old Compton st is the place to go. You can be as open as you like with no problems, G-A-Y is the nightclub to go to, 3000 people on a good sat night with PA'S every week, O r Heaven nightclub, Balans to eat. theres somthing for everyone.

I don't know about south Africa, but UK and Australia are probably the best spots to be free to be yourself.

on the instantaneous's on line version of The recommend has a piece of writing about how Southern Baptists at the instantaneous are replacing their beliefs. that is puzzling to believe, yet they for sure can not deny that being gay is genetic. the following is the tale.
